Nicolas Meier’s World Group has a highly distinctive sound, melding Eastern & Middle Eastern music, Flamenco, Tango and more - all mixed with jazz! His legendary virtuosity and eclectic musical interests are well supported by his super-talented quintet with its vibrant sonic palette.
Line-up: Nicolas Meier acoustic fretted & fretless guitars and glissentar, Richard Jones violin, Demi Garcia percussion, Tom Mason bass and Alex Hutton piano
'Meier’s scintillating playing on assorted fretted and fretless guitars is sometimes reminiscent of Metheny or McLaughlin but with a highly melodic, pan-Mediterranean eclecticism of his own' Jim Gilchrist - Scotsman ★★★★
Watch the World Group on YouTube in live session at the Sound Cellar and at the St Ives Jazz Club, also on YouTube.
NB: both videos in links above show versions of his quartet line-ups, rather than the quintet line-up listed above for our Jazz Steps gig.
Meier has toured the world as part of the Jeff Beck Band and has carved a reputation out as one of the world's most original and uniquely talented guitarists.
This promises to be a brilliant gig! Book now via link above to Bonington Theatre.
